Wikipedia; Me
Myself defined;
distracted by other peoples definition of happiness
while living a life defined by other people
I was
written, erased, re-wrote, RE-DEFINED
by all these foriegn concepts, thoughts, ideas
like happiness, family, and love
all swirling in this ratteled, rotten
brain; diseased by familiar friends, familair faces
like depression, grief, drugs, and despondence
without them, without me
with them, with me
I was not I anymore
when depression, grief, drugs, and despondence
picked me up and dragged me down
after they were done with me
and I floated to the surface
I was a shell, a mind-blown clone
dazed, senseless, confused
living? not living, simply existing
mindlessly waking up for no reason in paticular
and moving through out my day
mechanical, robotic, automatic
they try and fix me
futile their efforts, they will never know
while pondering the pills, group therapies, and psychiatrists
when I just need to be
written, erased, re-wrote, RE-DEFINED
one more time, except
by a person named ME
